Why Grow Point Reyes Ceanothus?

Point Reyes is a popular West Coast native evergreen ground cover known for its dense, spreading growth. Its branches root easily, helping it cover the soil and making it especially useful for erosion control on slopes.

In spring, the plant is covered with attractive light purple-blue flowers. It is also deer-resistant, drought-tolerant once established, nitrogen-fixing, and pollinator-friendly.

Use it for:

• Large-scale ground cover and mass plantings

• Slopes and erosion control

• Garden edging and borders

• Rock gardens

• Low hedgerows

• Hot, dry landscape areas

Planting and Spacing

These starter plugs are an economical way to establish a large planting area.

• For broad-area establishment, plant plugs approximately 1–2 feet apart.

• For a dense ground cover, the recommended spacing is approximately 3 feet apart.

• With suitable growing conditions, closely spaced starter plants may fill the area in approximately 2–3 years.

Spacing and establishment time will affect how quickly the planting fills in.

Growing Conditions and Care

Light: Filtered sun, partial sun, full sun, or partial shade. Afternoon shade is beneficial in USDA Zones 9–10.

Soil: Plant in well-draining soil.

Water: Water frequently during the first growing season to help establish the roots. Once established, the plant is drought-tolerant. In Zones 9–10, provide summer water and protection from hot afternoon sun.
